This DLC adds a new district style to the game, which is great for changing the look of your low density areas. Probably the most versatile content creator pack for the game.
The buildings this pack adds are of lower resolution than those from later content packs. Still, it's pretty nice, especially if you like art deco architecture and aren't just getting it to add variety to your city.
The buildings in this pack are of lower resolution than those of most other content packs. They're great for building some sort of research campus, though.
This DLC is a little overpriced, but it adds the fairly unique mechanic of seasonal events. It's not essential, but it definitely made my cities feel more alive and a little more chaotic (in a good way).
Campus and Parklife are both "gardening" DLCs: you build a special area in your city and spend lots of time sprucing it up and tinkering with it. If you want a slightly more involved Cities: Skylines game, or if that just sounds fun to you, you'll probably enjoy this.
If you enjoy the historical aspect of WW2 and HoI4 this is a nice little add-on for the in-game audio.
The speeches trigger based on events and date, and add some well placed audio context based on what is going on in the game – breaking up the stream of WW2 themed music. I found myself paying attention to the speeches and if you enjoy the audio in-game, this is some fluff DLC that adds to that.
Worth it for the price ( it's often on sale ), but you can skip it if you don't really enjoy the in-game music to begin with.
The only reason I bought this DLC was the fact that it was on 30+% discount and I had a coupon(combined with the hope they will fix it in a month or so). Still waiting for bugs to be fixed.
The second DLC for Planetfall is continuing the good trend from the first by adding interesting new mechanics to the game along with new factions that add flavour to the game.
From the early dev diaries I knew that this DLC was going to be special with the amount of freedom it allows players to design ships, and I like to think that in some small part I helped bring some of the wackier concepts to life.
A step up from vanilla HoI III, with less micro and more strategy. The battle plans make waging war on multiple fronts much less of a chore than previously.
If Grand Strategy in a WW2 setting is your thing, this is the game to get.
Only con for me, the game performance degrades too much as the timeline advances.
EVE Online has all the trappings of an MMO, in a sci-fi universe.
It is the most sandbox of sandbox MMOs. Which makes it as much of a strategy game as traditional MMO. The universe is vast, shared with 10s of thousand of other players on a single server. You can go it alone as a budling individualist, or join a player corporation and try your luck in PvE, PvP, crafting, diplomacy or all of the above – in the end, you are ultimately competing with other players in any avenue you choose.
It is the closest you'll come to an MMO, that is easy to get into, but difficult to master. Every system and mechanic has variables to improve under the hood, and even after years of playing, there's always something new to learn.
There's a reason why people refer to it as a hobby, more than a game. You decide how much you want to invest.
